Renal impairment may be associated with an increased risk of hematologic events (AEs) in patients undergoing treatment with trifluridine/tipiracil (FTD/TPI). This study aimed to investigate the specific types of AEs linked to renal impairment in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) receiving FTD/TPI, using real-world data. Among the patients included in the REGOTAS study (a retrospective study of FTD/TPI versus regorafenib), those treated with FTD/TPI were evaluated. Creatinine clearance values of < 30, 30–60, 60–90, and > 90 mL/min were defined as severe, moderate, mild renal impairment, and normal renal function, respectively. Renal impairment was analyzed as a risk factor for grade 3 or higher AEs using a logistic regression model. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) based on renal impairment were evaluated. A total of 309 patients were included in the analysis, with 124, 130, and 55 patients divided into the normal, mild, and moderate-to-severe groups, respectively. The risk of grade 3 or higher neutropenia was significantly higher in the moderate-to-severe group (odds ratio 3.47; 95% confidence interval 1.45–8.30; P = 0.005), but there was no significant increase in the risk of non-hematologic AEs in any of the groups. The OS and PFS of patients in the mild and moderate-to-severe groups were comparable to those in the normal group. Patients with mCRC and moderate/severe renal impairment receiving FTD/TPI therapy may develop severe neutropenia; however, FTD/TPI remains a viable treatment option due to its clinical benefit.
